Selection of the second level choice gives many third level choices, including 85 different groups of publications on a particular subject.

Prof. Alexander Ya. Malkin, 1994, ISBN 1-895198-09-7ChemTec Publishing introduces a new series entitled Fundamental Topics in Rheology, designed to facilitate conversion of rheology from a field familiar to a narrow group of specialists to a popularly applied science. The first book in the series was written by Prof. Malkin who is an accomplished researcher in the field.

George M. Benedikt, 1999, ISBN 1-884207-76-6The market predictions for various resins and products are changing rapidly but gradually it becomes known which directions are most likely to be affected and why. Several chapters contribute to this understanding.

Edited by C. Vasile and A.K. Kulshreshtha, 2003, ISBN 978-1-85957-309-9This four volume handbook is intended to provide an overview of the theory and application of polymer blends and composites. Practical and theoretical investigations are presented, aimed at generating an understanding of the fundamental nature of polymer mixtures and composites and describing progress in the thermodynamics of mixing (both in solution and solid state) of binary and multi-component systems. Volumes can be purchased individual for $270 each.

D.I. Cook, 2003, ISBN 978-1-85957-375-4Geosynthetics are sheet polymeric materials used in civil engineering. They have been used since the 1970s in geotechnical (soil) structures for functions such as separation, reinforcement, drainage, filtration, liquid containment and as gas barriers. Geosynthetics often play critical roles in civil engineering and it is important that the materials in use can withstand the physical and chemical pressures of the environment. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject. A subject index and a company index are included.

Cornelia Vasile and Mihaela Pascu, 2005, ISBN 978-1-85957-493-5This Practical Guide describes the processing issues and conditions for the wide range of techniques used for polyethylene, and also considers post-processing and assembly issues. It.offers guidance on product design and development issues, including materials selection.

, 2008, ISBN 978-0-815515814A hands-on guide to choosing and using old and new technologies for joining plastics and elastomers. Includes detailed discussions of over 25 techniques used to join plastics to themselves and to other materials. Advantages and disadvantages of each technique along with detailed discussions of applications are presented. A second section is organized by material and provides details of using different processes with over 50 generic families of plastics and how different techniques and operating parameters affect weld strength and other criteria. This book is an excellent reference and an invaluable resource for novice and expert alike in determining the best joining technique for their application and providing guidance in how to design and prepare for production.
